World of Warcraft - Account Authenticator‏ *SCAM*

 Now this is a scam mail that really warms the heart. You can just feel the sincerity and genuine concern flowing with every word. My favorite part is : Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers, we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated code strengthen system and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded. We will send this package of code protection system to players free of charge. Wasn't that wonderful? So anyway ya they claim they are going to upgrade our Authenticator for free! That sounds great but I really don't think that Blizzard wants "peng yue" from China doing this for them. He is the owner of battle-security-account.net which is linked to from this email.
